What kind of moderation should Twoism.org adopt?


Dear Twoism members,

Since its beginning, Twoism has been a space where people come together through a shared love for Boards of Canada and related topics. Over the years, this forum has always embraced a wide range of conversations, sometimes sharp, sometimes philosophical, sometimes deeply personal.

But times change, and so does the internet. That’s why we'd like to hear from you: how should Twoism approach moderation in the future? There’s no right or wrong answer, this is an opportunity to reflect together on what we want this community to be, and how we interact with one another.

Please take a moment to vote in the poll. Your input will help us shape the future of Twoism in a way that reflects the values of its members.

Help we’re fighting,
Twoism crew

I admire this guy and respect him so much for doing what he believes in. Being the change he wants to see in the world, living the moneyless lifestyle (he originally set out to do a year, but loved his new way of life so much he decided to continue on). Not just in his book, but from interviews, he seems like a great person who thinks people should stop thinking about how much we can consume, and start thinking about how much we can give to the world. I'd recommended it to anyone who is into self-sufficiency.


definitely want to read that one!!
expect nothing and live frugally on surprise.

Dude it's funny you should mention that, I was checking him out on youtube just the other night - have you seen 'moneyless in moab' yet? That guy (can't remember his name) is awesome, he is the same in that he just started for a year and has pretty much just kept on doing it.

I just finished my first Twain book, The Adventures of Huck Finn, awesome. Reading 1984 now.

I recently finished Flowers for Algernon.

Now I'm reading a book called My Stroke of Insight by a brain scientist who suffered a stroke and (8 years later) healed completely.

The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard, it's mainly to aid my degree. Is it weird that I really enjoy reading critical texts? It's ridiculously thought provoking.

Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson. The entire Sprawl series is so detailed and in-depth, I have a feeling I'll be rereading all three again when I finish this one.

Classic stuff, I read that a few years back, I should again. His best work, the other things I've read while enjoyable did not have the sheer bravado of that trilogy.

Am I the only one that just CANNOT fathom Anathem by Neal Stephenson? Third time I try and by page 150 I said fuck it... It just feels like an exercise in style and composition, we're so far from Snow Crash it's not even funny.
